Thame Remembers Tribute Installation

By Alun Rowe | November 11, 2014

Thame Remembers – the unique and ambitious project challenging the Thame community to place a Thame Cross at the grave or memorial of every serviceman from Thame who lost their life in conflict during the last 120 years, wherever in the world that may be – paid a special tribute at the Remembrance Service in Thame on 9 November 2014.

190 Thame Crosses, each bearing the details of one of those servicemen, were laid out in the shape of the Thame Cross on the grassed area adjacent to Thame’s War Memorial. Spaced at approximately 15 cms intervals the installation occupied an area 4.65 x 1.8 metres, and graphically illustrated the number of lives lost and, indeed, the scale of the Thame Remembers challenge.
